Has anyone used this liquid cooler for a graphics card?

Rexer, my apologies. I misread your question. I mounted this beauty on my cpu and not my graphics card. Sorry. But hey, like you said, duct tape fixes almost anything! :-) If you could figure a way to hold the heat sink in place, I know for a fact it would do the job. Great unit.

Yes, and it is awesome. My CyberPower Custom computer now runs so cool with the Thermaltake! Trust me, you will be impressed with your temps! Oh, did I mention that it is super quiet too? It is.

It doesnt come with liquid cooling but it is recommended. This chip runs VERY hot. I use a coolermaster v8 on mine (not liquid) and manage fine only getting close to "too hot" when i render. That being said watch ur system temps and know what is safe if your not going with liquid cooling. And make sure u have superb airflow in your case.

I currently use this on an AMD a10-5700 and have not had any problems with keeping it cool. I use it as a media PC so it runs 24/7.

It should work but i am not a big fan of the cooler. (pun intended) google xfx fan problems

I would recommend using a ThermalTake branded Liquid Cooling system for this case. The following link will give an idea of one of these systems. http://www.amazon.com/Thermaltake-Performer-Liquid-Cooling-CLW0215/dp/B007UIX1RO/ref=sr_1_5?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1386388290&sr=1-5&keywords=liquid+cooling

what makes you think this should be liquid cooled? i see no mention of it on their site: http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=c03516324&tmp;_task=prodinfoCategory&cc;=us&dlc;=en&lc;=en&product;=5296892#N1469

Yes! I use a CM seidon 120m which isn't the best liquid cooler. Currently I have it overclocked to 4.6 ghz, but could go higher. Its such a great cpu, eespecially for the price.

I have had overheating problems on all three of my Gtx 660 ti cards. I play Skyrim with about 243 mods and my card used to overheat. I have gone to a closed loop water cooler setup using the NZXT G10 bracket. Water cooling worked well, BUT, first, check the air flow inside your computer case. Without knowing what your particular setup is, I will give you some generic ideas. make sure your fans bring in outside air as low as possible and exhaust it as high as possible. Also small cases are great for aesthetics but suck for air flow. Try to get a case with the best airflow you can get. Also remember hot air rises so the floor is the optimum location for your case, if you have carpet, set the case on a piece of thin plywood to keep the carpet fibers from getting sucked into the computer. If you are overclocking anything, cpu, ram, gpu (video card), you are creating unnecessary heat. You can add more case fans depending on your case configuration but one solution that has paid off in spades is I replaced one of my GTX 660 ti cards with a G1 GTX 970 by Gigabyte and that puppy ROCKS and runs cool to boot. The non G1 rendition is slightly cheaper but does not cool as well. Anyway, good luck.

Yes it did, it was a nice heat sink with copper pipes sticking out of the side, the only thing I did not like was that my system board made the fan run fast at times and slow at others, the slow part was fine, but when it ran fast it was very noisy; so I put a liquid cooler on mine and solved all of my problems. But all in all the heat sink and fan that come with it, will work well.

I find the temperatures to be satisfactory, and honestly this is a very quiet graphics card. But honestly if you're looking for complete silence, I would watercool anyways. But, so far , I have no problems with my graphics card.

yes i have this card and it was a tight fit but works and is cooled beautifully :D

Mr Crosby, Although I used liquid cooling I don't think it matters as long as it's compatible with the sized processor you plan to use. Keep this in mind... I had to return two of these boards before getting on that worked correct. It's fast and worth the wight, but just wanted you to be aware. Good luck!

yes, but for that you will need to get a hydro copper heat sink because water cooling is the only way you can overclock it hard enough to get that high of a fps. if you cool with liquid nitrogen you might be able to get 30fps.

There is mounting hardware for the socket, and the cooler is plenty capable even with a moderate overclock with this chip. Or did you have a different concern?

Boy, there are a lot of variables there!!! I'm on a MSI motherboard with liquid cooling and have no problems. The RAM isn't all that tall. I am making a guess but it should work...that is a very popular cooler.

Depends how far you intend to push the CPU. These guys run pretty hot, and the stock cooler does a fair job under a moderate load. I went with a Rosewill cooler that was fairly cheap and pushes a lot of air, handles things decently but it's noisy. I've heard of people having really good results with Corsair's liquid coolers, which are of course a bit pricier.

Works fine with my sapphire radeon 5770 with 1 gb gddr5 I don't see why it shouldn't. Pick up an aftermarket cooling unit though as some of the newer games have taken me up near 220 degrees farenheit.
